Mine is “The Road Goes On,” without question. Lyrics, music, the guitar solo, the whole package. I never get tired of hearing it. A close second is “Simple Life.” I enjoy the obvious favorites (“I’ll Be Over You,” “I Won’t Hold You Back,”) but these are my picks.

Beyond the standards - if I can pop outside of Toto for a moment - I've always found "The Letting Go" haunting. Would have loved to hear a 'younger' Luke belt that out without all of the road-worn weariness in his voice.

Inside Toto - aside from the aforementioned, I really like Anna.

Luke's Ever Changing Times has a few tracks that would've fit right at home in TOTO. Letting Go is one of them.

The footage online shows the band firing on all cylinders. Vocally, Luke and Joe definitely ate their Wheaties. Their past 2 DVD/CD live releases (FIB and Poland) i lent out to friends. Never got them back. This one I'm keeping for myself.

No shit! Joe is absolutely belting those notes. And Luke's voice actually seemed a little smoother, although hard to tell too much from these phone videos. Several parts that they had been leaving out (or letting Shem sing) are back full force. They're probably smart enough to save their voices knowing the filming was coming up - but DAMN. Excited to see this one come out.

That's definitely Luke on the verses, not Bobby.

Dude. It's Bobby.

Well, no, it's definitely not him. It's clearly Luke (a young Luke, before his voice acquired the raspiness it has today). I mean no disrespect, but I honestly don't understand how anyone familiar with their voices could think otherwise.

Absolutely agree. That song is a perfect example of Toto capturing a feel and delivering. Another Luke ballad that does this is "Just Can't Get to You." I would probably place JCGTY over These Chains only because the song sounds more of a solo song.
